Ruptures of the ligaments are getting more and more frequent as a result of increased general sports activities and the increasingly high demands made on sportsmen in competitive events. From June 1975 to June 1980, surgery was performed in 76 patients of our hospital. 54 patients were followed up, corresponding to 71% of the total number. 50 patients considered the results of surgery to be very good to good. Four patients only were dissatisfied. This subjective result was confirmed by objective examination. Basing on these data, the conclusion is that surgical treatment of ruptures of the outer ligaments of the ankle joint is the method of choice.

Proprioception After Unilateral Stroke: Changes in the Affected and Unaffected Lower Limbs Over Time.
Physiother Res Int

College of Rehabilitation Sciences, Shanghai University of Medicine and Health Sciences, Shanghai, China.
Background: Proprioceptive deficits are common among stroke survivors and can negatively impact their balance and postural control. However, there has been little evaluation of the change in proprioceptive deficits in the lower limbs over time after stroke. This study aimed to examine proprioceptive deficits over time after stroke in both the affected and "unaffected" lower limbs.

Objectives: Whether intermediate-dose tertiary prophylaxis can improve quality of life and psychological health in adults with severe/moderate hemophilia A has not been determined. This research aims to explore the impact of intermediate-dose tertiary prophylaxis with recombinant human FVIII (rhFVIII) on quality of life, anxiety and depression in such individuals transitioned from on-demand treatment.
Methods: This retrospective analysis collected data from July 2019 to July 2022.

Joint arthrodesis is a very common surgical approach in foot and ankle surgery at various anatomic levels. Several techniques have demonstrated the ability to provide successful fusion with appropriate preparation of the joint in question. With that in mind, the joint preparation, regardless of approach or instrumentation, is consistently the most time-consuming.

Increased energy demands during walking is a recurrent issue for children with cerebral palsy (CP). Given the high incidence of spasticity in these children, several authors have analyzed the impact of selective dorsal rhizotomy (SDR) on energy consumption during walking, typically showing minimal changes post-SDR. To further investigate muscle behavior after SDR, our recent study identified alterations in individual muscle force production without changes in muscle activation during walking.
